This is the first UOA I've done with my 2015 Accord EX-L V6 / 6AT. The transmission is coming next and I'm REALLY keeping my fingers crossed. Lots of people talk about excess wear in the VCM engines. It seems I am not noticing this (thank goodness!) At any rate, I am pleased. Hopeful for 300,000 trouble-free miles.

Pennzoil gold has some Zinc in it. I would not follow their 12k advice, 10k sounds good.
 
For 10k miles on a VCM Accord I'd go with a stout full synthetic. The uoa is good, I'd like to see the iron reading a little lower.
 
Looks good. I wouldn't do another UOA this cycle. Wait til 50+K unless you like doing UOA's (nothing wrong with that) The only thing that will likely change is a reduction of iron. You have no problems with fuel, antifreeze. I probably wouldn't go any further than 10K on the semi syn...although you could, easily.
